Chapter 313: Xingluo Defense Formation
Chapter 313: Xingluo Defense Formation
When the flames disappeared, there was no trace of Dai Tianhua and Zhu Yunlu. It was obvious that they had disappeared into the world along with the flames.
"Damn it, you are such a cruel girl. We have already admitted defeat, why did you kill me?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Qiu'er, who was standing under the city, laughed so hard when she heard Dai Tianyu's accusation, as if she had heard a joke.
"Do you think I'm just playing house with you? Why are you still refusing to surrender? Besides, if I were really cruel, wouldn't I just let the beasts devour you? Why would I play a game of challenge with you?"
Being mocked by the woman in person, Dai Tianyu, who had been in a high position for a long time, almost gritted his teeth. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deeply into his palms. After a long while, he instructed the minister beside him:
"Activate the city defense formation."
"Your Majesty, the city defense formation is activated every time."
"Humph, do you think I don't know? It's still unclear whether Xing Luo can survive this disaster. Go quickly, or it will be too late."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving the order, the minister did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly ran down the city wall.
Looking at Dai Tianyu whispering with the ministers, Qiu'er slowly put away the smile on her face, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. She could already feel that the group of soul beasts behind her could no longer suppress their bloodthirsty emotions. However, she had almost had enough fun here, so she decided to just break into the city.
"Go ahead, little guys, let's take the city and put an end to this shabby empire."
"Roar!"
Without the obstruction of the Beast King Qiu'er, the soul beasts that had been suppressed for a long time all had red eyes due to excitement. The flying soul beasts that had been circling in the sky even took the lead and launched a charge towards Xingluo City.
For a moment, the entire Xingluo City was filled with the sounds of phoenixes singing, cranes crying, and beasts galloping, which was extremely spectacular.
"Why don't we stop them? If we let the beast tide rush into Xingluo City, it will always cause some unnecessary killings."
Daming saw the tide of beasts passing by and charging towards the city gate, and looked at Ning Bei beside him with some confusion.
Ning Bei shrugged and had no intention of stopping the beast tide.
"Why do you think I launched this beast tide? Isn't it to destroy the Xingluo Empire? Is there a more cost-effective method than limiting the killing range to the imperial capital?"
"I have done my best to keep the beasts away from the civilians along the way. Now it's time to finish it off."
Daming raised his eyebrows. He thought Ning Bei was a pushover, but he didn't expect him to have such a cold-blooded side. But he was right. It would be better to only destroy the defense force of Xingluo City than to let the beast tide wreak havoc throughout the Xingluo Empire and cause less killing.
While the two were talking, the faster soul beasts had already arrived at the foot of the city. Both the flying soul beasts and the land soul beasts pounced towards the defenders on the top of the city without any hesitation.
And a strange scene happened at this moment. The soul beasts that swooped down and flew forward seemed to hit an invisible wall after approaching the city wall and were quickly bounced back. They fell to the ground and raised a cloud of dust. These soul beasts looked around with confusion on their faces, as if they wanted to know what had ambushed them.
"Oh? This Xingluo actually has a defensive formation? It seems that it is not a coincidence that it has been able to stand on the continent for so long."
Xing Luo's defensive formation is similar to Ning Bei's Wall of Light, but it is not as powerful, which surprised him a little.
"How about it? Do you want me to go and break it?"
"Don't worry, let's take a look first."
Dai Tianyu, who was standing at the city gate, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the beast tide could not break through the formation. This was the soul guide left by the ancestors for the protection of the country. It was placed on the top floor of the empire's central tower and would only be used when the empire was at risk of death. Once it was activated, the entire Xingluo City would be in a defensive formation, but each use would cause the soul guide to wear out a lot, which made him feel a little painful, but he couldn't care less about the current situation. Watching the beast tides rushing towards the Xingluo city gate like waves, being repelled by the national protection formation again and again, but persevering in charging towards the formation, Dai Tianyu felt a little worried, fearing that the formation would not be able to hold on because of the exhaustion of energy.
"Little girl, I advise you to give up. This is my Xingluo's national protection artifact. You can't break through it. Even if a powerful 100,000-year soul beast comes, I dare not say that it can steadily break through the defense."
The soldiers beside him didn't know much about the inside story and thought that their formation was as strong as His Majesty said. For a moment, cheers resounded on the city wall.
"Long live Xing Luo!"
"Immune to all beasts!"
Dai Tianyu's provocation made Qiu'er a little angry. Isn't it just a broken formation? What's so great about it? There are plenty of hundred thousand year soul beasts here. I can do it myself.
Seeing Qiu'er planning to reveal her true form to break the formation, Ning Bei quickly waved at A Bao.
"It's better not to expose Qiu'er's true form to others. Go and break the formation."
Abao nodded, quickly came to Qiu'er and shook his head at her.
Qiu'er was slightly stunned, and looked back to find Ning Bei right behind her. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she gave him a puzzled look, as if asking why he didn't let her take action.
Ning Bei did not answer, but just shook her head slightly, indicating that she should leave the task of breaking the formation to Abao.
Qiu'er was a little upset, but she didn't refute Ning Bei and nodded to the big guy next to her.
"Come on, be quick, those minions up there are too arrogant."
Hearing this, A Bao revealed a sinister smile, took a few steps forward, put some distance between himself and Qiu'er, and then transformed into his original form.
"Roar!"
The majestic war roar resounded before Xingluo City, and all the soul beasts that were attacking the formation stopped their actions. After looking back at A Bao, they all showed fear and slowly moved to the side to make a wide path.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?"
Dai Tianyu was shocked. He was not as ignorant as ordinary soldiers. He could recognize the dominant soul beast like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. A soul beast of ten thousand years old could rival a soul beast of one hundred thousand years old. He just didn't know the cultivation level of the one in front of him. However, judging from its terrifying size, it was at least one hundred thousand years old.
Thinking of this, Dai Tianyu's heart slowly sank to the bottom, and his legs under the jade robe could not help but tremble. He had a premonition that the defense formation that he was proud of would definitely not be able to stop this ferocious beast.
"Be prepared to meet the enemy."
No one gave the emperor an answer. All the guards around him stared in amazement at the giant bear that was nearly 30 meters tall. If the bear stood up, it could almost send its pair of sharp claws to the city wall.
"Be prepared to meet the enemy, don't just stand there stupidly."
Dai Tianyu roared at the stunned soldiers beside him with an angry face. This shout also woke up these people. They all nodded tremblingly and then returned to their posts.
Seeing that the soul beasts had cleared the way to the city gate, A Bao below did not hesitate any longer. With his leg muscles tensed, he ran towards the city gate at a terrifying speed, like a heavy armored vehicle running at full power.
"Next, experience the fear of being dominated by a soul beast!"
“Dark Gold Sky-tearing Claw!”
